Title: Wind turbine with an offset suction side
Inventor: RUIJTER WOUT
IPC: F03D1/06
Filed: 2013-10-24
Abstract: The present invention relates a wind turbine comprising a wind turbine tower, a nacelle provided on the wind turbine tower, a rotor hub rotatably mounted to the nacelle, and one or more wind turbine blades having a root end configured to be mounted to the rotor hub and a tip end, a pressure side and a suction side connected to each other via a leading edge and a trailing edge. The wind turbine blade comprises a plurality of cross sectional profiles arranged along a relative length of wind turbine blade, where the peripheries of the cross sectional profiles define a surface of the suction side and a surface of the pressure side. The cross sectional profiles are arranged according to the surface of the suction side so that the surface of the suction side forms a line having one predetermined curvature which curves towards the pressure side of the wind turbine blade and/or forms an approximately straight line along at least a part of the relative length. The line crosses each cross sectional profile in that point on the pressure side where the maximum relative thickness of that profile perpendicular to its chord line is measured. This configuration allows the wind turbine blade to have an improved blade design reducing the stress generated in the wind turbine blade during operation by eliminating the local bending loads formed in the main load path in the suction side.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and device for evaluating a wooden board with an elongated direction. Data indicating fiber orientation over the surface of the board is acquired and for a number of board sub- portions a nominal local modulus of elasticity, MOE, is determined based on the fiber orientation data and a nominal material parameter. A nominal global MOE in the elongated direction for the wooden board as a whole is generated and compared with a secondary global MOE. Based on the fiber orientation data and this comparison an estimated local modulus of elasticity, MOE, in said elongated direction is generated for a number of board sub-portions. This data may be used e.g. for reliable strength grading of wooden boards.
